To perform a flexor hallucis longus stretch, sit on the floor with one leg extended straight out in front of you and the other leg bent. Grab the toes of the extended leg and gently pull them towards you, feeling a stretch in the calf and the bottom of the foot. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds and repeat on the other leg.
The flexor hallucis longus flexes the great toe and inverts the foot.
To effectively stretch the flexor hallucis longus muscle, you can perform a seated or standing calf stretch with a focus on pointing your toes upward and holding the stretch for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Additionally, you can use a towel or resistance band to gently pull your toes towards you while keeping your knee straight. Stretching regularly and gradually increasing the intensity can help improve flexibility in the flexor hallucis longus muscle.

There are seven muscles that control the toes. The "big toe" is controlled by the flexor hallucis longus, the flexor hallucis brevis and the abductor hallucis. The three middle toes are controlled by the flexor digitorum brevis and the extensor digitorum brevis. The last and smallest toe is controlled by the flexor digiti minimi and the abductor digiti minimi.
flexor hallucis longus
tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus
To perform a passive hip flexor stretch, start by kneeling on one knee with the other foot in front, keeping both knees at 90-degree angles. Slowly lean forward, keeping your back straight, until you feel a stretch in the front of your hip. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds and repeat on the other side.
There a lot of tendons on the plantar side of the foot. Off the top of my head... Tendon of the flexor digitorum longus Tendon of the flexor digitorum brevis Tendon of the flexor hallucis longus Tendon of the flexor hallucis brevis Tendon of the flexor digiti minimi brevis Tendon of the fibularis longus Tendon of the tibialis posterior Tendons of the lumbricals Tendons of the plantar interosseous muscles Tendon of the abductor hallucis Tendon of the adductor hallucis Tendon of the abductor digiti minimi There are also a bunch of ligaments.
Peroneus (fibularis) longus, Tibialis posterior, Flexor Hallucis longus
The tibialis anterior muscle inverts and dorsiflexes the foot. It is located on the front of the lower leg and is responsible for pulling the foot upward (dorsiflexion) and turning the sole of the foot inward (inversion).
Extension ofthe ankle, or more accurately plantarflexion is achieved by a comination of muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg. The Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Plantaris, Flexor Hallucis Longus, Flexor Digitorum Longus and Tibialis Posterior all help to plantarflex.
